Excerpt from Georgical Essays, Vol. 4
It is certainly clear, from the average prices of corn and provisions of all kinds for twenty years past, that there is not too much land in cultivation. Prices have been considerably above what has been deemed, and that justly too, the medium standard. As a manufacturing and commercial country, it is properly the duty of the legislature to provide, as far as consistently may be with the liberty of the subject, that the price of provisions may be kept as nearly as possible to their medium value. This is conceived to be very practicable, even so as to be a convenience to the grower as well as the consumer.
